Set of Four Handleless Tea Cups – Manufacture Raynaud – Limoges, 21st Century

This set of four handleless tea cups is made from Limoges porcelain by Manufacture Raynaud.

Featuring a flared shape, the cups have a simple, contemporary silhouette complemented by a small circular foot that raises them slightly. Entirely white, they are finished with a glossy glaze that highlights the fineness and whiteness of the porcelain. Their elegant, minimalist design makes them ideal for serving tea, while also lending themselves to individual desserts, creams or small preparations.

Without handles, the cups evoke the small bowls traditionally used for drinking tea in Asia, although their precise inspiration cannot be attributed specifically to either Chinese or Japanese tradition.

These items come from a manufacturer’s clearance. They were downgraded to second quality when they left the factory. They remain in their original condition and may show minor variations or irregularities associated with this classification, but are new and show no apparent defects.
